Mythos_Ruler Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm thinking of axing the "stupa" as a standard special structure and just making the Great Stupa of Sanchi the Mauryan "Wonder." The Edict Pillar of Ashoka will remain a "special structure" buildable by the Ashoka hero unit. Eggbird has made an excellent high-poly Pillar of Ashoka, so we should just expand upon that (add a cool base, then a chakra on the top) for the game version, probably with a high-def normal map.

gudo Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Well, the big question would then be what to do for the Maur Temple structure? I think so long as the Great Stupa is big enough, it should be cool enough. The Maur already have the best looking buildings IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 For temple, click here. I am thinking a barrel-vault temple, like the one to the right of the stupa in lilstewie's bottom reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordGood Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Given its a huge mound of brick and masonry, I dont think it should be destroyable, or at least have a ludicrous amount of health if it is implemented into the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrique Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Awesome!Very fast modelling I must say The critical part of making the wonder is not making it bigger than needed I suggest to import the big pyramid that is already in-game to have a "perimeter" of how big the building can be.Keep those awesome models coming!

Ludo38 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Excellent work LordGood !I don't see much more to do on the modelling level. Maybe adding an entrance to inside the "boob" ? Maybe it had no entrance, maybe it did... Well, that's not very important actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it housed a relic of some sort too, at the very top.it was a place of reflection, not worship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilstewie Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Rough stupa modelAre those supposed to be Ashok Pillars? Not very accurate.They're always round shaped with a variety of animals as the capital.http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16056&st=380#entry250217 Edited November 9, 2012 by lilstewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilstewie Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Would it be possible to make the four lion capital?http://en.wikipedia....llar_at_Sarnathhttps://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&q=Ashoka%20Pillar%20at%20Sarnath&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bpcl=38093640&biw=1920&bih=955&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=c2adULKqFcOo2wXGroCIBwThis is the coolest out of all the capitals.The Lion capital of Ashoka is a sculpture of four "Indian lions" standing back to back. It was originally placed atop the Aśoka pillar at Sarnath, now in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India by Emperor Ashoka c. 250 BCE. The pillar, sometimes called the Aśoka Column is still in its original location, but the Lion Capital is now in the Sarnath Museum. This Lion Capital of Ashoka from Sarnath was adopted as the National Emblem of India in 1950.[3] The wheel "Ashoka Chakra" from its base was placed onto the centre of the National Flag of India.The capital contains four lions (Indian/Asiatic Lions), standing back to back, mounted on an abacus, with a frieze carrying sculptures in high relief of an elephant, a galloping horse, a bull and a lion, separated by intervening spoked chariot-wheels over a bell-shaped lotus. Carved out of a single block of polished sandstone, the capital was believed to be crowned by a 'Wheel of Dharma' (Dharmachakra popularly known in India as the "Ashoka Chakra"), which has now been lost. There is a similar intact Ashoka pillar in Thailand (see photo) with a similar four lion capital intact and crowned with Ashoka Chakra / Dharmachakra.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Capital_of_Asoka Edited November 9, 2012 by lilstewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudo Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Egbert already made a high-quality pillar. And anyways, I dont' think the pillars should be included in the Stupa model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 darn it, I wish he made the four lions.Don't be sad, those pillars are easy to do with existing meshes already in-game (done with Eggbird lions) It just need the round base for the lions. (Maybe it's an optical illusion but I think that there are 3 lions instead of 4 in those pictures you posted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Bearer Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Well, the fourth is opposite to the one in front, I know, its our National Emblem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yep, the Ashoka pillars should be round and their own separate "structure" built or placed by the Ashoka hero unit. I think a variety of designs (different animals) would be cool, with the important chakra over the top. I would love it if Eggbird or someone can make nice high-quality normal maps for them too to help give them a nice high-poly look as seen in his video.Rough stupa modelThis is absolutely awesome, LordGood. I think what will really sell this model is the texture (and AO and normal maps). I would suggest using the same "brick wall" texture that the Civ Centre uses, but just in a lighter shade.
